Pastel makeup is back for spring and here’s how to do it right

Pastels for spring may not be groundbreaking, but they are fresh, fun, and exactly what we need after winter’s deep tones. This year, pastels are getting a modern upgrade, and here's how you can make them work for you.

• mint: a cool, refreshing shade that instantly brightens the eyes. Try a mint liner for a subtle pop or blend a soft mint shadow across the lids for a dreamy wash of colour.

• pale pink: soft and romantic, pale pink works beautifully on the eyes, cheeks, and lips.

• soft peach: one of the most flattering pastels, peach adds warmth without overpowering.

• lilac: this cool-toned pastel is a go-to for an ethereal, luminous look.

• petal pink: a timeless pastel that suits all skin tones. This year, it’s everywhere, from blush to lipstick, giving a soft, polished finish that feels fresh and feminine.

• babydoll pink: a playful, cheerful pink that sits between pastel and bright. A pop of babydoll pink on the cheeks or lips instantly lifts the face and adds a fun, youthful glow.
